XRumer interface

1. Main window

1. Main menu:

2. Information : name of software, used version, contacts.

3. Graphic logo. It can be hide from advanced option.

4.Available updates.

5. TO CHECK THE DEMO VERSION: send a message to a single forum/guestbook/blog etc. In the text box you can specify URL (link) and send default message by clicking Test. If the monitoring option has been set (see Advanced options) then you will be able to see the process of posting in detail at the top of the window. The results are located in the Reports tab. Also in this mode, a detailed report is stored in Debug folder.

7. The list of current threads. Here you can see the links that the program is currently using.

8. Chose of posting mode: usual Posting or Mass-PM

9. Posting management:

Start – sets the process to start from the beginning of the selected database. The number of the position is reset, also old reports are deleted (if it's enabled appropriate option in advanced option).Resume from the last position – continues the process from last position where was stopped.Stop – Stops the launching of new threads. The threads that have already started will continue until they finish.

10. Program settings tabs:

Links database – in this tab are selected the database to forums/guestbooks/blogs etc. and posting mode. Links databases is a text file, located in Links folder and have the following format: LinksList id*.txt, where * is its ID (database's number).

ATTENTION!!!

Before starting a new project, make sure that database is set to LinksList, and NOT to MLinksList or ZLinksList, etc.

Reports – detailed reports on current processes.Mail – Used to download the activation links from the e-mail inbox. It is recommended to create the address solely for posting purpose. Login and password to this e-mail are set in the project file.Anonymity – proxy-server usage settings.Multi-threading settings – here you can select number of threads to run. As higher will be the maximum number of concurrent threads – the faster will be the speed (the amount of threads should correspond to bandwidth of your Internet – connection). At connection of 1Mb/sec (without proxy) it is recommended to use 15 treads and at 4 Mb/sec use 60-70 treads. Periodicity – 10...1000 (it is recommended to not change). It makes sense to change this parameter only if you want to reduce posting speed.

Important:If in email box will be more than 500 letters waiting for activation, Xrumer automatically will reduce TEMPORARILY the number of treads to 5. This number of treads will be maintained until all letters of activation will be downloaded. After all letters will be downloaded, number of treads will be restored. (see background activation option)

11. Same commands as in the Project menu.

2. The project creation and editing window

Project name - indicate the name of your project (it is identical to file name created in Projects folder).

1. User personal information:

Nickname – nick (login). It is recommended to use only Latin letters exclusivelyPassword - user password sign at registration into forums, blogsReal name - on some sites at registration besides a nickname it is necessary to specify a real name of the user. It may be the same as nickname.Homepage – the URL of promoted site. Which should begin with http: //ICQ - number of ICQ (it must be not identical to yours)City - user’s city. Any links in this and the next fields are forbidden to the personal information.Country – the country of residence of the user.Area of work - a trade/specialization/job of the user. It is possible to specify several profession, through a commaHobbies – user’s hobbies.Signature – the signature in your profile (it can contain BB-code)

IMPORTANT!!!

To fill Signature field ONLY if it is necessary, because it may reduce success rate. Same as for Text for unknown fields (in bottom of window)

2. Email (contact e-mail, specified at registration on forum, It is recommended to create the address solely for posting purpose for each new project):

Full address – full email address of a format login@site.comPassword – the password to this emailLogin – the login namePOP-server address - for uploading letters under the POP-report, it is necessary to find out the address on mail server. For example: on mail.ru the mail server address - pop.mail.ru

Note: if you'll use a nonstandard POP mail service then you should enter POP address in xpop.txt file, in field [PORT].

Before starting a new posting; check through a browser (Internet Explorer or other), that:

1.
email address specified in the project, is available on the specified data2.
there is an opportunity of downloading letters under the POP3-report3.
this email is not used before in previous posting

3. Contents of posting messages:

Topic – the message subject. It is recommended the message subject contain 3-4 words at leastExplanation – in this field is the explanatory information to message subject. This field is required on some forums (IPB, etc.)Message text – the text of posting messages can contain links, macros and the other information

4. To create polling (Poll) - an option for creation of polls with variants of answers at forums. It is forbidden to use links in these fields. Do not confuse with Question – answer system.

5. Thematically targeting:

Priority categories - the list of priority categories which consist from a list of words which should contain inside of forum sections where the program should post the message (will not work with ZLinksList, RLinksList and ELinksList).

The example:

It is necessary to post message on subject such as Real estate.

For this purpose follow these steps:

1.Click Load defaults

2.Type at the top of the default list words that are relevant to your subject (the register of letters makes no difference):

The real estate
To lease
To rent
Rent
Lodging
Apartment

Therefore, the program will post the message in those sections of forums, which correspond to the needed subjects. If any of the listed topic words are not found in the forum, then XRumer will post to the default topic, such as Offtopic, Flame, Flood, Advertising, etc. If those topics are not found, then it will post on the most visited topics.

6. Preview in browser
By clicking the Test button you will see how your message will be on forums (the forum type can be chosen from 4 most prevalent variants - phpBB, Invision Power Board, vBulletin, YaBB).

4. Select the required database in the Links database tab; make sure the LinksList is selected.

5. Click Start from beginning button or Resume from the last position.

ATTENTION !!!

If you are planning to use proxy, do not forget to update the proxies list in the Anonymity tab. Besides that, to make the process more secure and stable, it is recommended that you place a script on any site and set up the program in the following way:

- Upload the proxyc folder to any of your sites - this is the script that checks if the proxy is really anonymous.
- Open the menu Settings → Proxy-checking settings
- In the field Checker script address choose Use own address and enter the full address to the script. Use the browser to make sure you typed the address correctly and the script is placed properly on the site.

Advanced users know that Xrumer can post replies in earlier created topics (Question –Answer system). But, only, in those topics that were created by Xrumer (see help file “Database type>RLinksList”). To post replies in topics of other users was problematic. Now such option is available – using additional program rgen.exe

What for is needed this option?

To send replies in topics with your theme, to maintain an existing dialog. Such topics can be gathered with Hrefer, by setting it up correctly.

To send replies to multiple topics from one forum (if you know for sure, that this forum is not moderated) or to many forums.

How it’s working?
Using additional program rgen.exe (download it here) you can convert database with links to topics (that mean in links of ANSWER to topics) – in RLinkslist database.

Screen of program:

Src.file – source file with links to topics (gathered with Hrefer or use report Success id*.txt – “Successful”) Dest.file – resulting file, there will be placed links of answer in these topics RLinksList id*.txt

If the option “Place to the dest.file only converted links” enable, then in resulting file will be placed ONLY converted links.
The option “Filter doubles by topic ID: select last topic on identical forums” will filter duplicates of topics and will save only links to last topics on identical forums. This option will be helpful if you had gathered database without filtering by duplicates.

That mean program works with most popular forum engines: phpBB (different versions) VBulletin, IPB (but not in all cases), UltimateBB, YaBB and some other. This program will NOT work on guestbooks, boards, catalogues.
